The/at family/nn is/bez largely/rb broken/vbn up/rp ;/. ;/.

but/cc the/at government/nn is/bez left/vbn with/in no/at reserve/nn granary/nn ,/, under/in the/at agricultural/jj system/nn it/pps has/hvz ordained/vbn ./.
Thus/rb the/at government/nn simultaneously/rb undertook/vbd the/at vast/jj burden/nn of/in social/jj security/nn which/wdt had/hvd traditionally/rb been/ben privately/rb discharged/vbn ,/, and/cc created/vbd a/at national/nn scarcity/nn which/wdt has/hvz engendered/vbn calamitous/jj problems/nns of/in social/jj security/nn ./.

A/at friendly/jj state/nn ,/, sometimes/rb only/rb semi-independent/jj ,/, but/cc never/rb hostile/jj ./.
China/np never/rb tried/vbd to/to integrate/vb Tibet/np by/in extirpating/vbg the/at people's/nns$ religion/nn and/cc institutions/nns ./.

The/at imposition/nn of/in yet/rb another/dt pressure/nn ,/, a/at strong/jj one/cd ,/, from/in the/at outside/nn ,/, might/md cause/vb it/ppo to/to snap/vb ./.




The/at planners/nns in/in Taiwan/np struck/vbd me/ppo as/cs realistic/jj men/nns ./.
They/ppss know/vb that/cs they/ppss must/md depend/vb heavily/rb on/in factors/nns outside/in their/pp$ own/jj control/nn ./.
